Artisan Mid Cap Fund stated the following regarding CBRE Group, Inc. (NYSE:CBRE) in its Q3 2024 investor letter:
“During the quarter, we initiated new GardenSM positions in CBRE Group, Inc. (NYSE:CBRE), Tetra Tech and Coherent. CBRE Group is the largest global commercial real estate broker with leading positions in its three business units: market advisory (property leasing, capital markets and mortgage servicing), global workforce solutions (facilities management and project management) and real estate investments. We believe the commercial real estate market may be bottoming as the rising interest rate headwind begins to ease. As the industry conditions begin to thaw, the company should see increased brokerage volumes and asset management returns. In addition, 51% of revenues are from its Workforce Solutions business, where CBRE is taking advantage of a secular trend toward facilities management outsourcing by expanding its capabilities to serve specialized facilities such as data centers and laboratories.”
